NHC is monitoring a surface trough of low pressure over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico that is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms along and just offshore the coasts of Texas and Louisiana. This system is expected to meander near the coast through much of next week, and some slow development is possible if it remains offshore. Regardless of development, heavy rains could cause some flash flooding across portions of coastal Louisiana and the upper Texas coast during the next few days.
